All About Mini Generators

During the hike, people often use various equipment that requires electricity. To always have it at hand, you can use mini generators, which will be discussed today.

Based on the name, it can be understood that the most important feature of this type of technique is its miniature size. It is worth saying that the dimensions of mini-generators can even reach pocket options, it all depends on the purpose of the application. In addition to size, these devices are special in that they are presented in a sufficient large assortment, in which there are models with different types of engines, powers and other important characteristics.

Distinctive feature Ease of use can also be mentioned, which is especially true for pocket units. As a rule, mini-generators operate at low or medium power compared to their large counterparts, so there is no need to talk about a rather complex structure of the structure. This type of device can be very useful when hiking, fishing or on vacation outside the city.

A model from a fairly well-known manufacturer of this type of equipment. Inverter type motor, which gives a sufficiently high quality of the output current and makes the device more resistant to fluctuations in the network. Work with peak loads is highly appreciated by the consumer. This appliance is equipped with electric starting system, which greatly simplifies operation, but at the same time increases the price. There is one socket for working with a single-phase 220 V network, a 4-stroke single-phase internal combustion engine is installed, the volume of which is 53 cubic meters. see Air cooling, the efficiency of which is quite sufficient for a generator of similar power. Volume of the tank is 2.1 l, which is enough for 4 hours of battery life. Gasoline of the AI-92 brand is required for power supply.

There is one 12V output, with which you can recharge small devices. The generator has a degree protection IP 23, which prevents medium and large particles from entering. Active output power is 900 W, the maximum is 1 kW. The output current can reach 4.1 A, the noise level is in the 56 dB range. It is worth noting the design features, which include a muffler, voltmeter, hour meter and soundproof casing. It will reduce the loudness noise of the generator and protect against external damage. Device weight reaches 16 kg, so it is easy to transport it by car or even during a hike.

More powerful and larger model. A special feature is the presence of both manual and automatic start-up options, which makes operation more diverse for individual situations.... There are two sockets for single-phase operation at 220 V. The single-cylinder 4-stroke engine has a volume of 212 cc. cm and a power of 7 liters. with. The number of revolutions is 3600 / min, air cooling. There is a 12-volt current output for recharging batteries and accumulators without additional funds. The volume of the fuel tank reaches 15 liters, which is enough for continuous operation for 10 hours. The brand of the used gasoline AI-92.

The work of the system is control of emergency oil level and automatic voltage regulation. The active output power of the generator reaches 2.7 kW, the maximum indicator is 3 kW, the current strength is 8.3 A. Also a muffler and a voltmeter are provided. This model is different low noise level, resistance to low temperatures and small size. The weight is 42 kg, so this unit is rather difficult to transport in field conditions, but it can be used as an alternative source of electricity for a small country house or summer cottage.

Very compact and low power generator. The main area of ​​application is the use in a hike, fishing or for temporary power supply of some pieces of equipment. Manual starting system, which has a positive effect on the price. Engine 2-stroke single-cylinder with a volume of 63 cc cm and a capacity of 2 liters. with. The number of revolutions is 3600 / min, air cooling. Volume of the tank is 4.2 liters, the time of continuous operation reaches 4 hours. Brushless generator has an active power of 500 W, the maximum is 800 W.

Noise level no more than 61 dB, the design provides for muffler and voltmeter. There is a 12-volt outlet and one socket, weight 19 kg.

Synchronous generator, which is distinguished by its small dimensions, low weight and low price. Manual start, the device works with a single-phase current of 220 V. Security is ensured by overload protection and engine air cooling system... Two-stroke engine with a volume of 63 cc cm, with a maximum power of 700 W and a current of 3 A. A fuel tank with a volume of 4.5 liters allows the device to work continuously for 6 hours, and AI-92 gasoline is used to provide power.

In terms of design, the GNR800B equipped with a muffler and voltmeter. There is only one socket, the weight of the device is 18 kg. The area of ​​application is the recharging of car batteries and the supply of electricity to small pieces of equipment. Also, this generator can be used as a portable power source in a hike or in the country.

A portable and time-tested generator that has a fairly large area of ​​application. Single Phase 4-Stroke Inverter Motor allows you to distribute the current according to the power and save fuel. The design includes a soundproof casing, a muffler and an overload protection system.

70 cc engine cm possesses with a capacity of 3 liters. with. The active power is 1.2 kW, the maximum 1.4 kW, the total 1.75 kW, and the current is 16 A. There is 1 socket, air-type cooling, the volume of the tank is 5 liters. The engine requires AI-92 gasoline, weight 12 kg. A distinctive feature of this device is the ability to use only half the power, while the operating time reaches 6 hours, which makes this model very hardy and at the same time wear-resistant.

For the correct choice of a mini-generator, it is worth marking application area. If you are going to use the unit as an additional source of energy for a summer residence or a country house, then the declared power must be sufficient to provide power to a certain area. Also pay attention to characteristics, both general and more detailed.

For example, to supply electricity to a welding machine, a certain power is required, which is not supported by all generators. Don't forget about dimensionsbecause the smaller and lighter the device, the easier it is to use when hiking or fishing.
